This sounds like a really great Idea I just cant do it this year :- ( Hopefully youll find some really awesome people to go with.
(Tried to PM you, but I guess you haven't enabled it yet) Hi there... Coincidentally, my cousin, her boyfriend, and myself are all planning on moving out there this summer. We were thinking of staying on semi-perminently (if we don't go broke, of course) but we wouldn't mind if you were only planning on staying a few months. About me: I'm a 21 y/o soon to be college graduate who is looking to live life outside of school for a change. I am the survivor of a liver transplant, I love medicine (I hope to be a patient advocate one day), philosophy, chess, reading, writing, and I'm looking to get into opera (though I don't know much about it at the moment). I currently live in san francisco, and am enjoying the city life. I wish to move to new york for a change of pace, and a chance to experience life in its more intense form. My cousin is 23, a ballet dancer who used to live in NY going to a ballet school. She's currently at home in portland, trying to earn enough money to go back. Her boyfriend is 34, but looks and acts about 25. He has lived in NY before, and when he's done with school in June he hopes to go back with us. He's also an avid reader and is into theatre. He hopes to write screenplays for broadway eventually. Were all very eccentric, parhaps even crazy, but we love to have fun---weather its going out to a party, or staying in and having philosophical conversations, or just watching a movie. We're freespirited, creative, adaptive and all-around happy people. Let me know we sound interesting. I graduate in May, and we're planning on heading out sometime in June. -Kate
